This “naturescape” playground is almost a secret, so the play structures (and the city’s coolest slides) that are built right into the landscape are rarely if ever crowded.East of Bayview Avenue, south of King Street, Toronto

Cherry Beach Soccer Field Playground

Commonly called the “Pirateship Playground,” the boat-shaped playground and modern climbing structures are located north of the soccer field, and almost always empty.115 Unwin Avenue, Toronto
